Identifying user by session info...

[admoore]

I am attempting to utilize Joomla 1.5 to duplicate behavior already in use on another site.

Using the wrapper, entered from a registered access menu, I need to get session info to uniquely identify the user, either by user name, or ideally, by a unique code stored with the user info in the existing user table.

I checked the session name and id for a registered session; but the session PHPSESSID doesn't contain a string unique to a given user.

The end result is a php page within the wrapper that offers access to online reports that vary user by user...

TIA for the help.

Doing the same thing myself.

In J1.0 you could use the $my->ID method of getting the user on there.  Just started looking into it under J1.5.
